Hi, greetings from the U.K. I got my i3 new in 2019, still have it, still love it. I’m 58YO and have owned a lot of cars in my time, and this one is my favourite. Planning to keeping it for many years.
Nice to see a newer review of these, they are the cutest little cars. I know nothing about EVs, swore I would never even consider an EV until I saw one of these and fell in love with it. 😂 I'm about a year out from actually purchasing a car but my heart is set on getting one of these.

@@kumi9479 thanks! They’re fantastic cars, you won’t be disappointed. Reach out if you have any questions before your purchase. I made most of my pre-purchase research on UA-cam to be honest so I’m sure you’ll find everything you need.
As another new ish bmw i3 driver whos put just over 16000 miles on the car in a year of driving, they are beautiful and well put together cars (youd expect it being a 50K+ car brand new) i prefer the dark leather interior as its less likely to stain, but i love the fact that i can park my car right next to a wall or if someone else blocks me in i can easily get out (theres a space where the centre console is by the legs), its nippy, its fun, and with the 42kwh you can get at minimum 110 miles of range (going a constant 80mph in winter conditions) but ive got it higher than the wltp range before driving around London: about 240 miles. All around a solid car, bmw put alot of effort into it, and it shows. One thing tho. ..i would treat it as a 3 door with the benifit of a coach style door too. If youre regularly taking more than 2 and dropping off, it can get annoying as the passenger has to unclip their seatbelt before the back can get out. Also the rear doors have to close before the front can so sometimes i can be annoying getting passengers in when in a tight spot. However if you treat it like a 3 door, the passenger would have to get out anyway to lower the seat. Otherwise ive had absolutely no problems with the car. Even if i buy a new car, i hope to keep it for as long as i can because its just fun.
Great choice Cesar! Congrats! You'll never regret it. It's one of the best EV's on the market. Really good build by BMW. Cheap maintenance, fun to drive, unique design and don't forget the carbon fiber reinforced structure. 😎
Hi great video, we bought our i3S a month ago and we also love it. Thanks to You I received a great amount of (for me) hiden features. All the best from les Pays Bas.and love to come to Normandy coming spring.

@@devosreynaert9873 good for you! I’m sure you’ll love it. Don’t hesitate if you have questions 😉
calling the headlights amazing is almost an understatement. They're sensational. The reason I have been looking into an i3 lately is actually do to the superior headlights in comparison to Tesla's headlights. From the drivers perspective, having bright LED lights is great. But I have never once felt like an i3 from an outside perspective had glare or just an uncomfortable projection of the beam. Tesla's on the other hand irritate me on how bad the headlight design is, even with the "Matrix" projectors.
I've owned my i3 for eight years but have only driven 10k miles. Still have the original screen wash in the car. I still get in and can't remember how to do some things. So, your video has been good at prompting me on some lesser-used actions. Love the car and it was my first four-wheeled car and will be my forever car. Used the park system the other night and was amazed at how quick and accurately it did the job.
Congrats on your new car! The lounge interior (not my favorite choice so far) actually matches this beautifully optioned i3 really well. Just like you I bought a second hand i3 (S in my case, same colour, suite interior) a few months ago and I´m very happy with it. Thanks for the nice introduction video.

Ich habe auch einen i3s mit Suite Ausstattung und es passt zu dieser doch eher erwachsenen, sportlichen Ausführung. Meiner ist in Melbourne Rot und da passt auch das dunkelbraune Leder gut dazu (oder ich habe mich halt schon daran gewöhnt). Vor dem Kauf wäre aber einer in Weiß mit heller Ausstattung mein Wunsch weil es viel freundlicher, luftiger, großzügiger und moderner wirkt und gut zum gesamten Image des Autos passt. Schön wäre gewesen wenn es eine helle Suite Ausstattung gegeben hätte, ist ja bei BMW nicht ungewöhnlich.
Hello, greeting from Taiwan. Mine is 2017 i3 Rex. Driving it is absolutely fun. And surprisingly, it's very easy to maintain. I have only replaced tires and small battery so far. Still very like it, and would like to keep it for long term.
Hello greetings from the Netherlands. Very nice video about your BMW I3. I see you have studied a lot and have knowledge about this smart car. Here another fan of this beautiful car.
Nice. Congrats. That's a nice car. I don't HK on my 2017 but I have every single option even the Sun/Moonroof. I also installed Carplay and a Towing Hitch.
Un anglais parfait , mes félicitations d'un anglophone qui habite à Paris . Je suis intrigué par cette voiture à la fois insolite mais pratique . Le seul bémol est la capacité de la batterie et le rayon d'action mais manifestement c'est largement suffisant pour vos besoins entre Paris et la Normandie . Bonne route avec et en toute sécurité !
Congrats for your beautiful car, U love it and also that exact trim! Is it possiytibknow your ourchase trim? Does it have android auto or apole car play?
A very nice presentation of the i3. I have been driving an i3 for a few months now and am more than happy with it. However, I find the steering very difficult. It seems to me that the steering has a higher resistance than other cars. What is your impression of the steering?

@@janosch7853 thanks! The assistance is OK for me even if it is a little heavier than I’m used to. I think they had to make it heavier because it’s already quite twitchy over 100 km/h as it is and it would have been worse if they hadn’t!
I drive a 5. It's relatively firm too. In many ways, the i3 is more fun to drive so great buy!

Und nicht zu vergessen, einer der, wenn nicht sogar DER schönste Ladeport aller E-Autos. Wenn man die eleganten Klappen von WoKeBy montiert können sich auch die meisten aktuellen Fahrzeuge schämen, so einfallslos und billig sind deren Ports gemacht. Die dreiseitige Umleuchtung der Ladebuchse ist so ein Eyecatcher, daß er immer noch in Präsentationen und Publikationen verwendet wird. Überhaupt ist der i3 das Sinnbild, die Ikone der E-Mobilität. Tesla hat zwar das E-Auto massentauglich gemacht, das Automodell welches aber stellvertretend für alle E-Autos immer wieder hergenommen wird, ist der BMW i3. Eine Ikone wie der VW Käfer und der Citroen 2CV.
the range was 39km when you started showing the inside of the car by the end of the video the range was 28km. I don't know man this seems like a good car but very unreliable too. If it is going to eat the range out just simply because you used AC or screen, it is a bit scary to depend on it every day.

@@monzaparabolica7658 to be honest it’s proven quite reliable, you just have to get used to the fact that it updates the range, sometimes dramatically, depending on what you use. It’s kind of hard to explain but it uses a setting change (climate temperature for example) as an opportunity to recalculate the range based on your latest efficiency figure. However it the case of this video, it just calculates constantly and the range goes down quite fast because I hadn’t driven very far before filming so the computer makes the average consumption go up very quickly at a standstill.

9:04 why is it so fast?
@@ZaynAlikhan-b4i so fast to turn off? It’s a safety feature as I hadn’t put my seatbelt on.

To be honest, I like the tires of bmw i3

@@McAmber yes haha, big gap between the two!
I got this car during maintenance on my own car. Zippy but I found it a tad uncomfortable.
